As for Japan, as I've written on my blog (linked below) which I hope some of you have visited, I think that a realistic target of getting out of the group would be a good achievement as well as being more realistic than Okada's semi-final aim. I would be ecstatic if Japan did reach that far (unless they beat England!) but I just can't see it. Then again...you never know!

I just had a look, Japan and England can't play each other unless they both reach the semi finals. Even then it would depend on who came 1st/2nd in their relative groups earlier on.
So no worries there...they can both progress to the Semi's without having to knock each other out. Although i have to admit it's unlikely either of them will get that far.
England should easily make through the group stage but could face germany in the 1st knock out stage. That would be a tough start!!!
Oh, i see you're from Newcastle too...same as me.
